My peer reviews got a lot better when I shifted my mindset from “my job is to find everything wrong with this paper” to “my job is to help these authors get this paper published, be it at this journal or the next”

Beautiful New Year's paper from Dr. Stephany S Chacon on soil microbial responses to drying in PARCHEDpanama! Soil fertility moderates the drought biome response.

Our new PARCHEDpanama paper is published today! 5 years of throughfall exclusion led to divergent effects on rainforest soil CO2 fluxes: decrease from infertile soils, increase from fertile soils. Hooray to co-authors Benjamin Sulman and Lee Dietterich agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20…

Nice English-language story about our PARCHEDpanama chronic drying experiment by Smithsonian Panama - thanks Ana Endara for the great photos! Starring Dra. Daniela Cusack Amanda Longhi Cordeiro Gabriela Quesada-Ávila Lee Dietterich and Eric Valdes! stri.si.edu/story/chronic-…

These protests are ongoing. The length to which Panamanians have gone to protect their land is staggering, and inspiring. If you care about global biodiversity please learn about what is happening here. #PanamaValeMásSinMineria #NoALaMineria

Colleges scientist, could you help me get this moving around? We need more pressure from the Canadian people and the International community to stop this super-powerful mining company from destroying our tinny, beautiful country 🇵🇦 nationalobserver.com/2023/11/02/opi…
